Season 31, Week 1
Nicolas
(Suikoden III)
 
The sturdy Nicolas! The stuff of hard-boiled, stiff-backed legends. A warrior's warrior, a man of wooden shields, heavy axes and stout armor! He's taken down far bigger creatures than Sheena as a member of Duke's mercenary team, so this round of battle should be nothing but a bracing warm-up. Sheena will throw all sorts of fancy card tricks and seals at Nicolas, but each will be blocked and endured, and Sheena cannot even hope to mimic his crushing strength when heavy, measured blows come raining down. Magic is no match for brute force and unstoppable endurance, and Nicolas will prove it to Middle this season.

After suffering the slings, arrows, and general degradation of Season XXX, Sheena must be looking forward to some quiet matches in her new division after a well-earned upgrade. Of course, against Nicolas, things might be a little too quiet. Despite her speed, raw defense like Nicolas' is a great obstacle for the ninja, and his physical attacks are oddly little better. But in a drawn out fight like this, Sheena can always call upon her trump card, the power to summon. Durable though the rock of the 14th Unit may be, a blast from the mighty Origin is still enough to fell him, adding again to Sheena's stunning victory chain.

"Oof. This is really, really irritating." Nicolas's heavy armor and mammoth shield were completely nulling the effects of Sheena's attacks, but also slowing him to the point where he couldn't keep up with her. After being knocked on his ass by Pyre Seal for the umpeenth time as Sheena backed off and charged her energy to unleash a summon, Nicolas was about ready to stomp out of the arena in disgust.

"Okay, to hell with this, I'm gonna-"

Sheena began to glow black.

The big, bald, floating form of Maxwell appeared and started raining meteors all over the arena.

Nicolas looked up, rolled his eyes, put his shield over his head, and duck-charged his way over to Sheena.

As the summon ended and Sheena, exhausted from the effort of calling Maxwell, fell out of her overlimit, Nicolas hit her in the face with his axe really hard.

Nicolas: 42
Sheena Fujibayashi: 40

It's cards versus a giant shield and axe, basically a bye to the next round for Nicolas...except Sheena got the cooperation of four individuals to help her out beforehand.

==9 Hours Earlier==
Nicolas is out partying his easy match with Duke, Gau, and Elaine over at the Foric Tavern when four people break into Nicolas's room at the arena sleep chambers.

"So, Jeff...can you take care of the axe?" asked Paula.

Jeff nodded slightly and pulled out a can of Rust Promoter DX and sprayed the whole bottle on the axe. The axe quickly became unsturdy and Poo did the rest by hitting it, reducing it to metal scraps, leaving the shield.

At this point, Paula begins a PSI Fire Omega and torches the shield beyond all recognition. By this point, Nicolas is done with the party and is heading up to his room. Ness heard the footsteps.

"Quick! Use Teleport!" Poo exclaimed. Ness obliged and they barely managed to teleport before Nicolas got into his room. Looking at the remains of his shield and axe, he decides that he has little hope to win, but that little hope is enough...even though it would be a horrendous site for the arena when he comes into his match.

==Currently==
Sheena is waiting on the arena floor, watching the opposite entrance with intent.

"Nicky's late," she thought to herself. "Maybe he realized how helpless without his axe and shield he really is". At that, Nicolas entered...and the crowd gasped.

Nicolas, having lost his mind about losing his shield and axe, decided to try using his fists...but that didn't call for him wearing a school girl uniform, which signalled that he forgot that Season XXX was last season. If he didn't know then, Sheena bashing him with Maxwell should remind him. Victory to Sheena.
